Curry powder gives tuna salad a flavorful twist and turns it into surprising but delicious addition to a classic BLT.
ingredients
  • Two 7-ounce cans tuna in olive oil, drained and flaked
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 celery rib, finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons minced red onion
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 8 thick slices of bacon (10 ounces)
  • 8 slices whole-wheat sourdough bread
  • 8 iceberg lettuce leaves
  • 2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
directions
  1. Preheat the broiler. In a medium bowl, fold the tuna with the mayonnaise, celery, red onion and curry powder and season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate.
  2. In a large skillet, cook the bacon over moderate heat until crisp, about 6 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
  3. On a large baking sheet, broil the bread until lightly toasted for about 1 minute. Spread the tuna salad on the untoasted side of 4 slices. Top with the bacon, lettuce and tomatoes. Close the sandwiches, cut in half and serve.
